I see...

actually, I'm not using 'stable' msp430-gcc, but the ebuilds made by
Matthias Transier here:
http://www.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pi4.data/content/projects/msp430/

(I have updated them a bit...)

and they seem to work fine, as far as I can tell... but let me try your
crossdev as well...

hm, let me see..


BTW, I started to create a howto here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TinyOS

all comments & extensions welcome.

currently I'm stuch trying to download the Blink sample app to the mote:
